Binary Install for Perl 5.8.4?
Is there a binary install for Perl 5.8.4 anywhere? I searched my favorite places, and checked the list archive but can't seem to find the obvious answers. The download page for CPAN Perl Ports points to the 5.8.0 binaries for Serverlogistics and Apple. I could grab it via Fink but inexplicably it only lists 5.6 and 5.8.1. -- Lola - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lolajl.net | Blog at http://www..lolajl.net/blog/ Terrorism delenda est!

If you're using Panther, have a look at Fat Camel: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net/download/fat-install.php The SourceForge downloads page (linked from the above page) also has several binary installers for groups of related modules - DBD-Pg, XMLKit, LWP, and GraphicsKit. sherm--

Modules can be added, either manually with the usual routine, or via the CPAN shell. Modules previously installed under the stock 5.8.1 are likely to be compatible, although I haven't tested that. Just use 'use lib' to add /Library/Perl/5.8.1 and /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level to @INC. Keep in mind that this is not always true; Perl modules with an XS (compiled C) component are compatible only with the same major version (5.8.x) and architecture (darwin-thread-multi-2level) for which they were compiled. sherm--
